Ed Schultz is already on the record as saying he would resort to cheating in order to win. More proof that having a D besides your name only illustrates that you are a danger, deranged, and a disaster for this country. Leftism, isn't it grand?

Scenario: Brown wins. GOPS gets egotistical and thinks it was an anti-Obama message. They then think that their fat white old out-of-touch corrupt men will be able to stroll to easy victories in 2010. WRONG!

GOP continues to flail until someone comes along who can cut through the corruption and bullshit while remaining affable, acting inclusive, and looking forward. See Thatcher, M.

Meanwhile, House approves Senate HCR bill. No other Leftist legislative initiates go anywhere. Any further Obama progress is made by executive decree. Andrew Sullivan realizes that Xanax can really help deal with his paranoia of nihilist conspiracies.

Every once in awhile, the stars align: a hack gets exposed as truly a hack. And poetic justice and irony are served to turn the Kennedy lifelong Senate seat in the bluest of states to give the Republicans the 41st vote to block healthcare being rammed down our throats.

Up is down and down is up per another Seinfeld episode where George played a bad boy.

You and I are told increasingly that we have to chose between a left and right. Well, I'd like to suggest there is no such thing as a left or right. There's only an up or down. Up to man's own old-age dream-- the idea of the ultimate in individual freedom consistent with law and order-- or down to the ant heap of totalitarianism. Regardless of their sincerity or their humanitarian motives, those who would sacrifice freedom for security have embarked on this downward course.

It appears that the Pick Up Truck Republicans have thrown King Obama's tea into Boston harbor. The blue dogs are all going to be at their GM p/u truck dealers first thing in the morning. This is a threat to DemonRat social order coming from educated voters given a clean moderate Republican to throw their support to.

"Polls closed in Massachusetts at 8:00 p.m. Eastern in the race between Democrat Martha Coakley and Republican Scott Brown.

Preliminary results include:

* Among those who decided how they would vote in the past few days, Coakley has a slight edge, 47% to 41%. * Coakley also has a big advantage among those who made up their mind more than a month ago. * Seventy-six percent (76%) of voters for Brown said they were voting for him rather than against Coakley. * Sixty-six percent (66%) of Coakley voters said they were voting for her rather than against Brown. * 22% of Democrats voted for Brown. That is generally consistent with pre-election polling."

This just shows how unpopular and stupid Republicans are. You tea bagging cocksuckers (not that I am homophobic) elected this guy even though I posted stuff here that I found in far-left hothouses. Racist motherfuckers. Fuck you. DUH!

I have been watching Olbermann, because his tears are so delicous. They had a live shot of Matthews in some bar with two "sad" ladies on either side of him in the background. Then they panned out and people are laughing, making faces at Matthews, and even the "sad" women go out of character and one of them starts talking on her cell phone and doing the Carol Burnett pulling of the ear thing.

Gloria Borgers, usually uninteresting, says in a column on CNN.com that "Americans trust government less now than they did after Watergate."

She doesn't cite a source, so I can't tell if she's referring to some empirical data or just conjecturing. But if that's true, then Obama and the congressional leadership didn't just misread the public mood. They had it translated into a dead language.

I've been watching MSNBC since about 8:50PM EST. There's a lot of "proactive" election results analysis which strongly implies that Brown has won it. Now, I must tell you that I choose MSNBC hoping to hear a few mea culpas from the gang of drooling cretins who pass for journalists on that minor league news outlet -- something along the lines of "Yeah, we blew it. We thought America actually wanted the socialist bullshit we routinely peddle here at MSNBC. But Scott Brown's remarkable win here tonight in the Bay State has shown us the light."

But Nooooo... I've just witnessed the most inane, the most incoherent, the most astounding stream of mind rot ever offered on television since Pee-Wee's Playhouse was canceled.

Chris Mathews explained to Oblermann that the reason Coakley lost is because she failed to advocate Obama's 1984-esque Big Brother statist vision for America with a sufficiently friendly face!!!

These people are absolutely without contact with the material plane. If the kind of thinking I witnessed on MSNBC is typical of the Democrats (and former law student's fraud ravings reinforce my perception) then I conclude they are, as an institution, as out to lunch as any political party has been since the Nazis convened in that Berlin bunker back in '45.

They're calling it for Brown, eh? Wow. I was not expecting that--deliberately keeping my hopes down.

This is funny:I just went on Google News to check what folks are saying, and the very first story on the main page was a piece from the Washington Post titled "Massachusetts race wasn't a referendum on health-care reform."

Seriously. If you're tired of him and can't wait to say something in response to Jeremy, here's something to sink your teeth into:

"Hey Jeremy - you lost. Before anyone answers you on anything, what have you got to say about how wrong you were then?" Stay consistent and you'll hit a target, no matter what he tries to say, guaranteed.

Actually, some might recall that Jeremy thought the election would pivot on the disclosure that Brown's campaign did not buy health insurance for its employees. He breathlessly announced this news would "disqualify" Brown.

It's amazing. A whole political philosophy assembled like Frankenstein's monster from a bunch of lame, half-baked "gotchas." That's not just Jeremy, but much of the netroots.

Although, I have to admit, a few of the leading netroots bloggers have been tuned into this election as much as anyone in the independent and conservative camps. Jame Hamsher, Chris Bowers, Taylor Marsh, kudos to you. You didn't buy the crap Obama spin.

Don't get too cocky; as fls reminds us, the vast and powerful Massachusetts Republican party has its thumb on the scale. Wouldn't be wise to read anything into this, especially since the President himself didn't come down and campaign on her behalf or anything, and nobody brought up the 60th vote on health care AT ALL.

Coakley Is Strong In BostonLooking through the current reporting, it's striking that Coakley's margins are huge in Boston - roughly two to one. There are a lot of votes in Boston and the final tally is not in yet. As I said, this is closer than I expected. But it is a Brown win.

The Massachusetts minute men have stood their ground and said to Obama and Pelosi "You LIE"! Now let's see how The Obamanation psych-ologists spins this election. Harvard is supposed to be the leading master of the only acceptible truth in this society...and the voters just said that the best laid plans of the Harvard cell of World Rulers have been totally rejected. Obama must be really angry tonight, so get ready for a counter attack thru Obama's Media sock puppets.

With a seven point bulge, this one cannot be ACORNed. Soros must be going berzerk(sp?).

former law student said...

OMG! The Love Story dude died too.

Erich Segal? And with the Kennedys no longer a factor in American life, do you know what this means?

The Sixties are finally over (Thank you, God!!!!).

Now all we have to do is convince Barry and Pelosi Galore and the rest of the crypto-communists in DC of it. The only way to do that, of course, is to send most of the House and about a quarter of the Senate to the old crooks' home.

Hey, we might actually get the Republican Party to mean something again.

I wonder if a new Althouse reader would be confused by the references to Jeremy in this thread?

I can imagine this theoretical blog reader thinking "F this Althouse character; who is this so-called Jeremy that seems to be the central figure on this blog?"

BTW, Wireless internet is awesome. It's great to check the tubes while on the road. Maybe Althouse and Meade could invest in this technology so that they don't need to hang out at Mc-D's because of the need for WiFi.

I'm watching Rachel Maddow now, and for the first time I've given more than 10 consecutive seconds of my evening. Based on what I've seen so far my instinct to pass by her leftard screed one my way to the something actually enlightening such as Myth Busters was well founded.

Who in blazes hires these freaks? Is a dishwater personality de riguer at MSNBC? And what is that bulldyke pantsuit look she seems to have adopted in lieu of humor and incisive wit? Am I missing something?

1) I'd like to think my $35 donation to Scott Brown helped.2) I don't care if Scott Brown turns out to be the next Joe Lieberman/John McCain/Lindsey Graham. Just as long as he votes against HC. Please.

@Meade, I agree with you. My comment was "tongue and cheek".That spot is already filled with Palin and her fans. Don't get me wrong, she has a place in the debate and she should use it to focus on the issues at hand. Conservatives should not look to elect another American Idol candidate.

Hopefully this election is a harbinger for the future. Can we leave the kids anything less? They deserve better...

I wonder if a new Althouse reader would be confused by the references to Jeremy in this thread?

Not really. Nothing as bad for visitors as reading Jeremy on a tear. People I work with finally checked out "Althouse recently and were so turned off because the 2 threads they read had Jeremy continually. It took me a year to get them to even peek, and there done.

So, I wouldn't worry about this thread.

Do you realize that starting this year, the "60's" are now 50 years ago?
